"Outstanding service. They were responsive and easy to communicate with, offered the best pricing compared to others I contacted, and did an incredibly thorough job. The trees look great, and the cleanup was just as impressive. It’s not easy to find a company that delivers on all three—communication, price, and quality—but they absolutely did. Highly recommend."

"Look no where else! CM Precision Tree and Landscaping are the best. We had a tough project for them. They had to cut our neighbors huge pine tree that was hanging over our yard. They cut about 50% of the tree and had to access the tree from our yard, which was a bit of a trick. They did an amazing job. The neighbors had pots and plants all over the area under the tree. They covered everything up and nothing was damaged. All of the tree was cut and taken down through our yard. They roped all of the branches down and there was no damage to any trees or plants in our yard. Their team is professional and hard-working. Chuck and Pedro are miracle workers! They helped us with the many challenges that came with this project. Many thanks!!!"

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

Some fast-acting products can rot a tree stump in four to six weeks. Keep in mind, these products contain harsh chemicals that may prevent regrowth in the area. Other products, like fertilizer that contains lots of nitrogen, can enhance the process and rot a stump in about a year. (This is compared to the ten years it can take naturally for a stump to rot.)

Generally, you should prune around 20% of an apple tree’s growth—and never more than 30%. This means that if you have a severely overgrown tree, it can take a few seasons to prune it back enough to produce the healthiest fruit. 

If you’re dealing with a newly planted or juvenile tree, hold off on pruning beyond the initial shaping. Wait at least a couple of seasons into fruit production since pruning can increase the number of water sprouts and unproductive foliage.

Unless it’s dead or dangerous, think twice about cutting down a tree in your yard. They’re good for health, well-being, wildlife, and the environment. Plus, local authorities often have regulations prohibiting the removal of trees, especially protected species or individual trees with historical value.

For safety reasons, leaning trees are best removed by a professional, as they may often tear away from the hinge, causing you to lose control over where the tree falls. If you choose to cut down a tree leaning slightly, avoid cutting off root protrusions before you start. Make your hinge a little longer than usual by cutting it deeper (up to 30% of the diameter) and applying a wedge into the felling cut on the side the tree is leaning. Stand away from the direction the tree leans while making your felling cut.

Completely topping a plum tree is a risky business. Cut too much, and you’ll kill your tree. That said, you do need to trim the top of your tree to encourage bushy growth, maintain your tree’s vase shape, and limit size. 

A plum tree's central leader (or trunk) should never extend more than 3 feet above the highest branch. When you first plant your tree, cut the central leader so it’s 2 to 3 feet tall. As it grows, cut it back 12 to 20 inches until it reaches its desired height. Never prune more than one-third of the new growth.
